Carl Crawford To Red Sox: Boston In Agreement With All-Star Outfielder

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — The Boston Red Sox struck again at the winter meetings, reaching agreement with star outfielder Carl Crawford on a $142 million, seven-year contract Wednesday night.

A person familiar with the talks told The Associated Press the agreement is subject to Crawford passing a physical. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet final.

Crawford’s deal was first reported by The Boston Globe on its website.

On Monday, the Red Sox formally announced their trade for slugging first baseman Adrian Gonzalez of San Diego.
